See: <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2015/12/16/10272128/topsy-shut-down-apple-twitter-analytics" rel="nofollow">Apple shuts down Twitter analytics service Topsy</a>. To replace Topsy in this screening step, I'm simply using <a href="https://twitter.com/search-home" rel="nofollow">Twitter Search</a>, and then selecting the "Live" option.<br /><br />For example, a search for the title (within quotation marks): <a href="https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%22A%20Tumor%20Suppressor%20Function%20for%20Notch%20Signaling%20in%20Forebrain%20Tumor%20Subtypes%22&src=typd" rel="nofollow">"A Tumor Suppressor Function for Notch Signaling in Forebrain Tumor Subtypes"</a> yields more than 35 tweets. An unusual feature of these tweets is that many of them seem to be associated in some way with <a href="https://twitter.com/search?f=users&q=AlexisSfakianakis" rel="nofollow">AlexisSfakianakis</a> (<a href="https://www.google.ca/search?q=%22%CE%91%CE%BB%CE%AD%CE%BE%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%B4%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%82+%CE%A3%CF%86%CE%B1%CE%BA%CE%B9%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%AC%CE%BA%CE%B7%CF%82%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=L_5xVrnrM4nSUcbigpAH" rel="nofollow">Αλέξανδρος Σφακιανάκης</a>), an ENT physician in Greece. This is a situation where I've discounted many of the tweets.<br /><br />Another example, where little discounting was necessary: <a href="https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%22Barcoding%20reveals%20complex%20clonal%20dynamics%20of%20de%20novo%20transformed%20human%20mammary%20cells%22&src=typd" rel="nofollow">"Barcoding reveals complex clonal dynamics of de novo transformed human mammary cells"</a>. This is an example of an article that has attracted attention.Jim Tillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092503335133096747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35997458635844014.post-35469653954554309142015-11-16T19:26:29.241-05:002015-11-16T19:26:29.241-05:00Oops.

One example is <a href="https://twitter.com/hypoxiapapers" rel="nofollow">Hypoxia Adaptation</a>, "A feed for hypoxia related papers published in NCBI, ArXiv, bioArxiv, and PeerJ". Another is <a href="http://@epigen_papers" rel="nofollow">epigenetics_papers</a>, "Chromatin & epigenetics paper feed from <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Pubmed?src=hash" rel="nofollow">#Pubmed</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Arxiv?src=hash" rel="nofollow">#Arxiv</a>". It's unclear what criteria (other than the topic of interest) are used as the basis for tweets from these users. So, I'm currently discounting such tweets, in comparison with others that do not originate from feeds such as these.Jim Tillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092503335133096747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35997458635844014.post-74479495760772484942015-06-02T15:25:36.953-04:002015-06-02T15:25:36.953-04:00A shortened link to this post is: Tweets about can...A shortened link to this post is: <a href="http://bit.ly/1xmScvh" rel="nofollow">Tweets about cancer stem cells</a>.Jim Tillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092503335133096747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35997458635844014.post-46005936977298521192015-06-02T15:17:48.764-04:002015-06-02T15:17:48.764-04:00About Screening Step 2: I now only put the title o...About Screening Step 2: I now only put the title of an article into Topsy if that article has a non-zero Altmetric score. My experience to date has been that it's very rare for articles with an Altmetric score of zero to yield any tweets on Topsy.Jim Tillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092503335133096747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35997458635844014.post-14654078567293797642014-10-13T15:34:39.221-04:002014-10-13T15:34:39.221-04:00When the article that's the basis for a tweet ...When the article that's the basis for a tweet is behind a paywall, I now replace (not OA) in the tweet with ($) - fewer characters.
